The last rites for 34-year-old Bollywood actor, Sushant Singh Rajput, was held in India's western city of Mumbai on Monday. Rajput's father and relatives arrived in Mumbai to attend his funeral that was held at Pawan Hans crematorium. Rajput's death sent shockwaves through Bollywood and Indian sport, with tributes and condolences pouring in on social media.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also expressed shock over the actor's death. Rajput started his acting career with television soap operas and made his Bollywood debut in 2013. He had acted in 10 films and his eleventh, an official remake of the Hollywood hit "The Fault in Our Stars," is scheduled for release later this year. Rajput, who won acclaim for his role in the 2016 biopic of then Indian cricket captain, was found dead at his home in Mumbai on Sunday. Local media reported that the actor had been found hanging from the ceiling of his home. An investigation is ongoing, police said, declining to give further details.
